Start your year by slowing down! Join resident teacher Jim Dalton with the Daltones (Karen and Doug O’Dell) for a nourishing day of mindful movement, guided meditation, silent sitting and group discussion.

Offered both in-person and online, the Saturday workshop will review several QiGong traditions: the familiar Shibashi routines, plus “The Eight Pieces of Brocade" – ancient approaches to healing and rejuvenation.

Using these practices to get in touch with our subtle somatic energy, we will explore both the active and the calming aspects of the Seven Factors of Awakening (mindfulness, energy, investigation, rapture, tranquility, concentration and equanimity). We will experience together which factors are useful for the sluggish mind, which are best suited for the restless mind, and how the Seven Factors teaching can help us enter a space of bare attention and calm abiding.

Bring a sack lunch and a snack to share with other participants if you wish. Please register by Dec. 31, so we can most effectively make arrangements for the group.

We have a full and inspiring weekend ahead—guest teacher Kirsten Rudestam on Sunday morning, Song Sangha that evening, and our year-end fundraiser underway. Scroll down to see what’s happening and how you can join in.

This Sunday, November 30:
Guest Teacher Kirsten Rudestam
10:00am - 12:00pm
Held In-Person at PIMC & Online via Zoom

Please join us this Sunday, November 30, as guest teacher Kirsten Rudestam returns to PIMC to share a reflection on The Gift of Belonging: Gratitude and Generosity as Reciprocity. From Kirsten: “This dharma talk explores gratitude and generosity as living expressions of reciprocity — ways of remembering our interdependence with all that sustains us.”

That evening, continue the community spirit by joining Song Sangha with Adhamh Roland, a joyful gathering of music, singing, and meditation designed to open the heart and deepen connection with yourself and the community.

We hope you’ll join us!
